Verona had beaten their visitors in their previous four league matches without conceding, but fell behind on the half hour mark when Remi Oudin hammered in an unstoppable 25-metre strike into the top corner.

Cyril Ngonge levelled four minutes before halftime when he took advantage of slack defending and fired home from a tight angle.

Lecce got their nose in front again midway through the second half thanks to Joan Gonzalez, but Milan Djuric equalised nine minutes later for Verona when he headed home from a Filippo Terracciano free kick.

A point apiece means Verona remain second from bottom with nine points, while Lecce jumped one place to 13th on 15 points.
